Other rules to know
- No Town of Ross zoning ordinance was found online, and no live source was found saying whether Forest County general zoning applies in the town (the County's draft comprehensive plan that described town zoning coverage has been removed; NCWRPC's final 2024 plan could not be opened).
- Near lakes, rivers and streams the Forest County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance applies (not reviewed here; the County posts it only as a SharePoint file the research tool could not open). Ask the Forest County Zoning Department (715-478-3893, [email protected]) before fencing shoreland property.
Before you dig
Call Diggers Hotline at 811 (or file online at diggershotline.com) at least 3 business days before digging post holes. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
